Controlled by neurons from a rat’s brain
A robot consisting of two wheels with a sonar sensor
Has no microprocessor of it’s own
Rat brain robot

Embryonic neurons are separated out and allowed to grow on na electrode array
A mesh of about 100000 neurons can grow within several days
After about a week he starts to pulse the electrodes in search of a pathway
How it works?

Once they have a pathway researchers use the connection to get the robot to roam around and learn to avoid crashing into walls
Bluetooth communication
With time and repetition the neural pathway become stronger
The robot learn for itself how to not bash into obstacles
How it works?

Culture neurons in three dimensions
A network of 30 million neurons
After that, the next step will be to bring in human neurons
Future...

If we have 100 billion human neurons
Should we give it rights?Does it get to vote?
Is it conscious?
Now what?
